Topic description:
Soft sci-fi emphasizes story, characters, and human or social questions rather than scientific detail. Technology and future worlds serve mainly as backdrop rather than fully worked-out systems. Moral choices, power, identity, and community often come to the fore. These works ask less how a machine works and more what it means to be human.

Category description:
Civilization shows how societies, cultures, and communities form, function, and evolve, including the rise, decline, or transformation of cities, states, and empires, often under the influence of technology and environment. Sci-fi is especially good at questioning our own society through future or alien civilizations. A civilization's fate often depends on the values and rules it upholds.
